In announcing Thursday the release of its new Prada phone, LG Electronics didn't claim it was competing with the heavily-hyped Apple iPhone scheduled to be released in June. It didn't have to.

Monitor size is like real estate. You can never get enough of it. That's what I thought until I got a gander at Gateway's mammoth 24-inch HD LCD flat-panel display. Working with this monitor is like computing on a billboard. Once I got my bearings -- I'm used to using a 17-inch LCD, so the transitio...
Electronic Arts, creator of the wildly popular Sims line of video games, announced Tuesday that it will expand the series with new "laptop friendly" games.

Economics teaches that the market for some goods and services are "natural" monopolies. Take telephone service, for example. A telephone service is only really valuable if any person with a phone can be connected to any other person with a phone. For this reason, the market will "naturally" coalesce...
Hewlett-Packard researchers announced Tuesday that they have developed technology that could significantly boost the performance capabilities of an array of computer chips, while cutting back on power consumption at the same time.

A Northern California man was badly burned when his cell phone spontaneously combusted. The man was sleeping with the phone in his front pants pocket when it exploded and caused his clothes to ignite, according to reports, and he awoke in flames. He reportedly has second- and third-degree burns on a...
If Henry Ford were alive today, his jaw might very well drop to the floor. Though Ford's cars were innovative for the time, the automaker probably never could have imagined that the company that bears his name would one day ink a deal with Microsoft for hands-free Bluetooth technology in-vehicle ope...
Just five months after it issued a massive recall of notebook computers because of defective batteries, Dell on Friday became the target of yet more legal problems involving its notebook equipment. A group of Canadian consumers is suing Dell over what they allege are faulty Inspiron notebook machine...
Macworld vs. CES was a huge mismatch; even if you took Microsoft out of the mix, this was more like an ant against a dragon than even Jack against a giant, and -- drum roll, please -- the ant won. By the end of Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld, the media had lost interest in CES, and reporters focus...
